of its latest sanctions for the war in ukraine. a block is proposing to do it in stages to give government time to get alternative supplies. at several countries are pushing for exemptions from any embargo from nick cane reports from belin. this is the gas from nif installation in hunting mathias from installations like these in siberia and across russia. crude oil, diesel and petrol are pumped to customers. taken together every day, nearly 8000000 barrels of crude and refined products are exported. 2 thirds of them end up in europe. but now russia's war against ukraine has changed everything to day. we are addressing our dependency on russian oil. and let's be clear. it will not be easy because some member states are strongly dependent on rational oil, but we simply have to do it. so today we will propose to ban all russian oil from you wrote. this will be

this will be a complete import ban on all russian oil seaborne and pipeline crude and refined. but in order for this to happen, it will need the support of all e u member states, and some a strongly resistant to all act embargoes by sally back. give it russell's anxious package would destroy the security of hunger. his energy supply budget was like risk packaged in this form cannot responsible, supported those on one knee journeyed the sanctions proposed in strasburg will also target several large russian banks and other financial institutions. the notable absentee from the list is russian natural gas. in a sense, it's the elephant to the european living room, too big to be ignored, but also too big, unilaterally to be done away with, without seriously damaging economies across this continent. the bottom line is you will probably not be able to replace what he gas any time soon. we're talking about

a $150000000.00 billing cubic meters of gas that russia says west that's coming down at the moment. but we're still gonna face a shortage of, of quite a few bcm out there. the russian government condemned proposed embargo and said sanctions are a double edged weapon, which will also hurt europeans economic. and that's the problem facing e u leaders. they want to act fast against russia, but they're stuck with the reality of decisions that governments across europe made over decades when they thought that it was in their best interests to make deals with president putin. donna kane, al jazeera, berlin, rehearsals, her rushes may. the 9th victory day parade have begun in moscow and the annual well war to commemoration has special significance this year because of the warn ukraine . white jets patches flying in the zed formation used as a symbol of support for russian forces. a kremlin is dismissed rumors that it to

declare war formerly on victory de ah, united states is raising its base interest rate by half a percentage point to try to reduce soaring inflation. the chair of the federal reserve, jerome pow, made the announcement we have both the tools we need and the resolve that it will take to restore price stability. on behalf of american families and businesses, the economy in the country have been through a lot over the past 2 years and approved resilient. it is essential that we bring inflation down if we are to have a sustained period of strong labor market conditions that benefit all against this backdrop. today the f o m c raised its policy interest rate by a half percentage point in anticipates that ongoing increases in target rate for the federal funds rate will be appropriate. she ever tundi as more from washington

d. c. on why this increase is important. practically, when we're talking about inflation, it's difficult to see what the federal reserve can actually do because the reasons behind inflation also specific the war and ukraine that you were just discussing. supply chain issues the pandemic. a chinese lock down, the lack of affordable housing, corporate price gouging that we're seeing in, in, in energy sectors, food sector, pharmaceutical sectors. these are all the reasons why inflation also high and these interest rate hikes aren't going to do much about those specific specific issues. but what this does signal is, even though this was the largest rate increase in 2000, it does show that there is a sense of moderation and the fed. and even that, i mean, a more health point basis points might, might raises, like becoming too, because it means that they're not listening to those on the right to the political spectrum and economics and politics who always want to stop curbing inflation through high interest rates. no matter be the economic and social costs because, well, this is a very blunt instrument. what we're talking about here is raising interest rates to

make people's lives harder. so they don't spend more. so that means meaning that making more people unemployed, making people make it more difficult people to borrow, making the job scarcity more because corporations and company is called, called get, get the loans to do to hire more people that could have devastating impacts on socially internationally. because when the u. s. central bank raises its rates for central banks and other countries tend to right raise their rate so that can lead to normal poverty in the developing. well, he's not listening to those on the extreme inflation side of things. they're saying like that, you know, we're going to keep an eye on things, but we are taking it seriously at least. so that's actually good news. i think the markets are very happy about this. you know, it will narrowly you'd expect the mark if the tank investment for interest rate hike. but that isn't the case. and progressive economists say, all right, there's a good chance and we have this in the spring meetings just a few weeks ago that inflation may already have picked or may certainly pick by next year. so we shouldn't do anything too crazy because as we know from previous

incidents where the federal reserve tries to tinker with the interest rate to curb inflation is often it's not always i think that's a global recession. so there have to be really careful, at least that sense of moderation and what drew out during posing more people than ever before. struggling to put food on the table with extreme weather violence and the pandemic to blame. that's according to the un, which warns the global free crisis is set to reach of pulling new levels because of the war and ukraine. according to the u. n. 193000000 people in 53 countries, didn't have enough to eat last year. that's $40000000.00 more than the year before . if you, if you have madagascar, south sudan and yemen are among the worst affected. where more than half a 1000000 people are facing catastrophic conditions, including starvation and death. around 26000000 children under the age of 5, a malnourished and in need of urgent treatment. they're having to self assets having to skip meals or having to engage sometimes in very,

very dangerous behavior. and of course the situation is also reflected than in acute malnutrition. particularly a very, very young children, those that are on the 5. and ultimately of course, loss of life, we have access access to s x s mortality. the horn of africa suffering, it's worth drought in decades. the u. n says millions are at risk of starvation and todd communities are being displaced. quinton monahan has more this used to be fertile, grazing land. now it just drives a bone. life is growing increasingly difficult for these nomadic herders in eastern ethiopia and others like them across the horn of africa region. many feel powerless as they wash their livelihoods disappear beneath the sand will come. there is not a single animal left for us. hardy welcome. conditions are really hard and this drought is much different from previous ones. we've never suffered like this. the regions, worse drought in decades is killed nearly 1500000 animals from the herds. people

here say it's part of a new pattern of weather that's threatening their way of life. the puzzle is, you know, as soon as they know they're trying to recover from the other drug and the progress of the hits but, but it's a controlled. so it's made it make them possible for them to recover quickly from the previous previous shocks. the thought of 20000000 people are on the brink of starvation. many have been displaced and forced to settling caps, aid workers do what they can to feed the hungry. but sometimes that's not enough. we come up with some of the mother who because of they are not fed with getting and food dad, not believing. and if in food for children are in a fit for feeding, for children, scientists are linking the crisis to climate change. droughts like this, used to happen once every 6 years. now there every 3 rights groups are calling for

urgent action. but for the nomadic herders of east africa, it may come too late to preserve their way of life. vinton monahan, al jazeera, still to come around his ear after promising to ramp up its weapons program. those career conducts its 14th missile test of the year. and living in harmony in a single world city of 10000000000 people, several imaginative ideas to save the climate. spain, london. ah, hello. we have an early taste of winter for south eastern parts of australia over the next couple of days. we got a cold front rolling through the bike, sliding across tasmania, victoria, even further ace, which as we go on through the next couple of days behind that cold front dragon in

a series of miss all tests this year. both south korea and japan say the missile was fod eastwood's from su, none just north of the capitol pyongyang, the south korean military tracked it for 470 kilometers. before it came down in the c, stoker as 14th known as our launch this year. japan says it's yet another provocation . not often noted a cooker, miss. i don't careers of recent remarkable development. and when you click on the found related technology is not only unacceptable for the security of japan and the region. but north korea's flu of action, including its repeated launches of ballistic missiles, threatened the peace and security of our country region, and the international community and are absolutely unacceptable. they're also in violation of relevant security council resolutions. and we strongly condemn these actions. because that in light of the situation, we will consider all options including the possession of so called enemy base

attack capability. and we'll continue to work to funder mentally strengthen our defense capabilities. young young has been noticeably busier with weapons tests in recent months. it's already conducted more than a dozen since the beginning of this year. in 2021. it conducted 8. and in 2020 there were only 4. among this year's test was north korea's 1st intercontinental ballistic missile launch. since 2017 breaking a self imposed moratorium on long range testing. and just last week leader control and promise to ramp up the development of nuclear arms during a massive military parade. ocoee the non she's had a vast array of northridge forces. robert bryant has more from the south korea capital sol, the south korean military confirming that this was a ballistic missile, but with a relatively short flight path. certainly compared with the more recent missile launches, they say that it reached a total altitude of 780 kilometers and flu,

a total distance of nearly 500 kilometers east landing in the sea that separates japan and the korean peninsula. now, south korea has a strongly condemned this launch. the japanese prime minister has said that it's totally unacceptable. well, we don't know exactly at this stage. what type of miss all this was interestingly, it was launched from this district called su 9, which is just outside the capital gang from where north korea launched at the end of march, an icbm, that's an intercontinental ballistic missile, a sort of weapon capable of reaching the continental united states and the kind of weapon that north korea has not tested since 2017, so that was seen as a major development to major escalation. now there's some debate over whether that miss out was fired was a, was on 15 or a more powerful, more recent class song, 17 icbm. but both of those types of missiles were on display at this very large parade that was held last week in pyongyang. this was the anniversary of the

what happens is pretty much what we've seen here today and get all the way. so that's talk for can show you. so this is pretty much been the scene all day about 3 to 4 dozen pro abortion rights activists here chanted in front of the supreme court . earlier in the day we saw a much smaller group of anti abortion rights activists. they came and they sort of started shouting at each other. we saw police quickly move in and i want to point out security here is incredibly tight. this street behind me used to be accessible for cars, but now on both sides of dumb trucks blocking the road. because this is going to continue to be a controversial issue in till the decision comes out. remember this draft, this legal draft that they've confirmed is in fact just a draft justices are allowed to and often do change their minds between a draft and the final decision. so expect to see protest this one is much smaller than yesterday. pretty much leading up to the final decision which we expected late june, early july. despite everything that's going on in the world,

most scientists believe the biggest single long term threat to our future is climate change. raising awareness of why we need to change is vital, and that's the point of a new exhibition opening this week in london. our time on us focuses on how we can live in harmony with nature. jessica baldwin went along to have it looks me at $65.00 metres. this caper tree grows in the columbia and amazon rain forest visitors pier through the layers into the trees in our system. see the oxygen released into the air, the nutrients coursing through the structure. a dining table set for 14, including a be a bird and a snake. a mushroom sits at one end, the human at the other. all species are equally important to the earth survival by hopefully presenting a story of. wow,

isn't this incredible to be living within this living planet? it can therefore, hopefully engage on a slightly more emotional level and therefore develop that sense of empathy rather than shaman paralysis. each flash heavily marks 128 square meters of brazilian rain forest destroy. so we're looking at winter, winter bring to life, and the 1st station that's happening right now in the amazon rain far as so when kofi began, there was a 71 percent increase in the for station and nobody is there to watch. so i made a piece that disappears at the rate of the deforestation, and everybody can watch what's actually happening right now in the amazon futurists to imagine re wilding in our cities, trees taking over roads, or even just one city on earth with 10000000000 inhabitants. as well as raising awareness and futurists predicting what our planet will look like in

decades. the exhibition also includes real life, current solutions aimed at stopping the destruction using right terrorist irrigation in an urban environment. clothes made from micro c. we are mushrooms. visitors are challenged to connect with nature to consider the soil trees plant, other species. despite hard data warnings from the un and scientist, there has been limited action. could the imaginative collaborative show by artists and designers from around the world helped in some small way to spark a reaction for people to make the changes needed to help save the planet? jessica baldwin al jazeera london, a shirt wound by football and a jigger. ma dorner during argentina's $986.00 world cup quarter final when england
